“Exceptional customer service from Julie Baker customer services”

I mistakenly double booked a cruise thinking it was for the following year. I sent in a cancellation e mail which was never acknowledged and contacted customer services and spoke to Julie who was most helpful and forwarded it on. Still having no reply I contacted her again and the situation is now resolved. She certainly went the extra mile for her customers
